Adhesives - One component polyurethane (PUR) for load-bearing timber structures - Classification and performance requirements

This European Standard establishes a classification for one component polyurethane (PUR) adhesives according to their suitability for use in load-bearing timber structures in defined climatic exposure conditions; it specifies performance requirements for such adhesives for the factory manufacture or factory like manufacturing of load-bearing timber structures only.
It also classifies “adhesive lines” where all the products within the line have almost identical physical/chemical properties and gluing performance, but different reactivity.
This European Standard only specifies the performance of adhesives for use in an environment corresponding to the defined conditions.
The performance requirements of this European Standard apply to the adhesives only, not to the timber structure. This European Standard does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for factory-like conditions) nor the production of wood-based panels, except solid wood panels, or modified and stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. such as acetylated wood, heat treated wood and polymer impregnated wood.
This European Standard is primarily intended for the use of adhesive manufacturers and for the use in timber structures bonded with adhesives, to assess or control the quality of adhesives. The requirements apply to the type testing of the adhesives. Production control activities are outside the scope of this European Standard.
Adhesives meeting the requirements of this European Standard are adequate for use in load-bearing timber structure, provided that the bonding process has been carried out according to an appropriate product standard.

Klebstoffe - Einkomponenten-Klebstoffe auf Polyurethanbasis (PUR) für tragende Holzbauteile - Klassifizierung und Leistungsanforderungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt eine Klassifizierung für Einkomponenten-Klebstoffe auf Polyurethanbasis (PUR) entsprechend ihrer Eignung für die Verwendung in tragenden Holzbauteilen zum Einsatz unter bestimmten klimatischen Bedingungen fest sowie die Leistungsanforderungen für derartige Klebstoffe ausschließlich zur industriellen oder werksmäßigen Herstellung von tragenden Holzbauteilen.
Sie klassifiziert auch „Klebstofflinien“, wobei alle Produkte innerhalb der Linie fast identische physikalische/chemische Eigenschaften und Verklebungseigenschaften, aber unterschiedliche Reaktivität aufweisen.
Diese Europäische Norm legt nur die Leistungseigenschaften für Klebstoffe bei Verwendung in einem Klimabereich fest, der mit den vorgegebenen Bedingungen übereinstimmt.
Die Leistungsanforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm gelten nur für die Klebstoffe, nicht für das Holzbauteil. Diese Europäische Norm gilt weder für die Leistungseigenschaften von Klebstoffen für das Verkleben vor Ort (ausgenommen bei werksmäßigen Bedingungen) noch für die Herstellung von Holzwerkstoffen, mit Ausnahme von Massivholzplatten, noch für modifiziertes und vergütetes Holz mit stark verringerten Quellungs- und Schwindungseigenschaften, wie beispielsweise acetyliertes Holz, wärmebehandeltes Holz und polymerimprägniertes Holz.
Diese Europäische Norm ist vorrangig für die Hersteller von Klebstoffen und für die Anwendung bei verklebten Holzbauteilen vorgesehen, um die Qualität der Klebstoffe zu bewerten bzw. zu überprüfen. Die Anforderungen gelten für die Typprüfung der Klebstoffe. Tätigkeiten der Produktionskontrolle fallen nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm.
Klebstoffe, die den Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen, sind für die Verwendung in einem tragenden Holzbauteil geeignet, sofern der Verklebungsvorgang nach einer entsprechenden Produktnorm ausgeführt wurde.

Adhésifs - Adhésifs polyuréthane monocomposants (PUR) pour structures portantes en bois - Classification et exigences de performance

La présente Norme européenne établit une classification des adhésifs polyuréthane monocomposants (PUR) en fonction de leur aptitude à l’utilisation dans des structures portantes en bois dans des conditions climatiques définies, et spécifie les exigences de performance de ce type d’adhésifs pour la fabrication en usine ou la fabrication de type industriel de structures portantes en bois uniquement.
Elle classifie également les « gammes d’adhésifs » dans lesquelles tous les produits de la gamme ont des propriétés physiques/chimiques et une performance de collage quasi-identiques, mais une réactivité différente.
La présente norme ne spécifie la performance des adhésifs que dans l’environnement correspondant aux conditions définies.
Les exigences relatives à la performance définies dans la présente norme ne s’appliquent qu’aux adhésifs et non à la structure en bois. La présente norme ne couvre pas la performance des adhésifs pour le collage sur site (excepté dans des conditions de type industriel), ni la production de panneaux dérivés du bois, à l’exception des panneaux en bois massif ou des panneaux en bois modifié et stabilisé, qui présentent des propriétés de gonflement et de retrait considérablement réduites, par exemple bois acétylé, bois traité thermiquement et bois imprégné de polymère.
La présente norme est principalement destinée à être utilisée par les fabricants d’adhésifs et pour les structures en bois collées par des adhésifs, pour évaluer ou contrôler la qualité des adhésifs. Les exigences s’appliquent aux essais de type des adhésifs. Les activités de contrôle de la production sont hors du domaine d’application de la présente norme.
Les adhésifs répondant aux exigences de la présente norme conviennent pour une utilisation dans une structure portante en bois, à condition que le processus de collage ait été réalisé conformément à une norme de produit appropriée.

Lepila - Enokomponentni poliuretan (PUR) za nosilne lesene konstrukcije - Razvrstitev in zahtevane lastnosti

Ta evropski standard določa razvrstitev za lepila iz enokomponentnega poliuretana (PUR) v skladu z njihovo primernostjo za uporabo pri nosilnih lesenih konstrukcijah pri določenih pogojih izpostavljenosti podnebnim razmeram; določa zahtevane lastnosti za taka lepila za tovarniško proizvodnjo ali tovarni podobno proizvodnjo izključno nosilnih lesenih konstrukcij.
Razvršča tudi »lepilne linije«, pri čemer imajo vsi izdelki znotraj linije skoraj enake fizikalne/kemijske lastnosti in zmogljivost lepljenja, vendar različno reaktivnost.
Ta evropski standard določa lastnosti lepil izključno za uporabo v okolju, ki ustreza podanim pogojem.
Zahtevane lastnosti iz tega evropskega standarda se uporabljajo samo za lepila in ne za lesene konstrukcije. Ta evropski standard ne zajema lastnosti lepil za lepljenje na mestu uporabe (razen pogojev, podobnih tovarniškim) niti proizvodnje lesnih plošč, razen polnih lesnih plošč, ali obdelanega in stabiliziranega lesa, ki bistveno manj nabreka in se krči, kot so acetiliran les, toplotno obdelan les in polimerno impregniran les.
Ta evropski standard je namenjen predvsem za proizvajalce lepil in za uporabo pri lesenih konstrukcijah, vezanih z lepili, za ocenjevanje ali nadzor kakovosti lepil. Zahteve se uporabljajo za tipsko preskušanje lepil. Dejavnosti kontrole proizvodnje ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega evropskega standarda.
Lepila, ki izpolnjujejo zahteve tega evropskega standarda, so primerna za uporabo pri nosilnih lesenih konstrukcijah pod pogojem, da je bil postopek vezave izveden v skladu z ustreznim standardom za proizvod.

1 Scope
This European Standard establishes a classification for one component polyurethane (PUR) adhesives
according to their suitability for use in load-bearing timber structures in defined climatic exposure conditions; it
specifies performance requirements for such adhesives for the factory manufacture or factory like
manufacturing of load-bearing timber structures only.
It also classifies “adhesive lines” where all the products within the line have almost identical physical/chemical
properties and gluing performance, but different reactivity.
This European Standard only specifies the performance of adhesives for use in an environment corresponding
to the defined conditions.
The performance requirements of this European Standard apply to the adhesives only, not to the timber
structure. This European Standard does not cover the performance of adhesives for on-site gluing (except for
factory-like conditions) nor the production of wood-based panels, except solid wood panels, or modified and
stabilized wood with considerably reduced swelling and shrinkage properties, e.g. such as acetylated wood,
heat treated wood and polymer impregnated wood.
This European Standard is primarily intended for the use of adhesive manufacturers and for the use in timber
structures bonded with adhesives, to assess or control the quality of adhesives. The requirements apply to the
type testing of the adhesives. Production control activities are outside the scope of this European Standard.
Adhesives meeting the requirements of this European Standard are adequate for use in load-bearing timber
structure, provided that the bonding process has been carried out according to an appropriate product
standard.
